In 2024, The Aphelion Graduate Foundation received nominations for 17 students who had overcome significant personal challenges to achieve high school graduation. Thanks to the generous support from our south Florida community and local businesses, The Aphelion Graduate Foundation is proud to have provided all 17 nominees with individual recognition, custom commemorative medals, a pizza party and shaved ice celebration, free meals at Chick-fil-A, and free mini-golf at Boomers Boca Raton. Two exceptional students were recognized as the 2024 Aphelion Graduate Foundation Awardees. Each 2024 awardee received meaningful, individualized award gifts curated according to each student’s particular interests, abilities, and post-graduate goals.
